Laboratory of Soybean Breeding

Primary Research Objectives

Development of early- and mid-season soybean varieties with:

  • High yield potential (≤4 t/ha)

  • Enhanced seed composition:

    • Protein content: 38-42%

    • Oil content: 18-22%

  • Superior agronomic traits:

    • Lodging resistance

    • Disease immunity

    • Abiotic stress tolerance

Breeding Achievements (1999-2019)

  • 16 released varieties

  • 10 State Register-listed varieties:
    Primorskaya 13, Venera, Primorskaya 81, Primorskaya 301, Primorskaya 69,
    Primorskaya 4, Primorskaya 96, Primorskaya 86, Musson, Sfera

Methodological Breakthroughs
